Veteran Beer Advocate, Pooh Bah, and Notable Member - Places. Regular contributor on Bar Towel. Long-time Untappd member and former Rate Beerian. You can find most of my beer ratings on Untappd (1,500+) and a mix of old and new beer reviews on BA (500+).

I've sampled over 7,000 beers, but have only reviewed a fraction of them. Most of the time I like to rate a beer when I'm alone, at home, and have time to properly analyze the beer, record my thoughts, and provide an accurate, in-depth review. I subscribe to the BA mantra of "quality over quantity."
